.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This program reads information about a comedi device and
|
|
|
|
|
displays it in a human-readable form. It also
|
|
|
|
|
probes the asynchronous acquisition by calling the function
|
|
|
|
|
probe_cmd_generic_timed
|
|
|
|
|
which provides information about the maximum sampling rate of
|
|
|
|
|
the board
|
|
|
|
|
and how the card acquires multiple channels (e.g. at once or
|
|
|
|
|
one by one).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
\-n NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS
|
|
|
|
|
Requests the number of channels for the asynchronous acquisition.
|
|
|
|
|
This might influence the maximum sampling rate and the mode how
|
|
|
|
|
the comedi device samples the channels.
|
|
|
|
|
If the number is higher than the available
|
|
|
|
|
channels this will be corrected downwards to the number of available
|
|
|
|
|
channels.

\-F SAMPLING_RATE
|
2012-05-03 00:52:13 +01:00
|
|
|
Requests a sampling rate for the asynchronous
|
|
|
|
|
acquisition. By default this is set to comedi's highest sampling rate
|
|
|
|
|
(1GHz) so that the driver is forced to reduce it and will
|
|
|
|
|
return the maximum possible sampling rate. This option is only provided
|
|
|
|
|
for driver testing and for drivers which do not return the highest
|
|
|
|
|
sampling rate.
